I'm not sure whether it's a KDE or XOrg related problem or a problem of the X-Server... If I login directly, everything works fine.

Especially I miss the pipe symbol ('|'), but there are some more like '?', '@', '?'. I compiled KDE on my own computer running a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE kernel. All packages are up to date. Any hints? If I use an SSH connection (PuTTY), everything is fine.

Hmmm - there are two drivers:
One for the 'HID' Keyboard (C:\Windows\system32\DIVERS\kbdclass.sys, C:\Windows\system32\DIVERS\kbdhid.sys)
and one for a standard kyeboard with 101 / 102 Keys or MS Natural Keyboard (C:\Windows\system32\DIVERS\i8042prt.sys, C:\Windows\system32\DIVERS\kbdclass.sys).

Last night I did some research and found out, that the X-Server which is coming with the Cygwin project is working fine (but slower) usind the same settings on my BSD Box.

The locale ist set to:

LANG=de_DE
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_TIME="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.ISO8859-15"
LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-15
